No, there isn't. And that's why
Wiktionary can work. But articles
about words don't belong in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedias talk about
the concept behind the word, not the word itself.
I think your "meh" example is perfect.
Good, me too.
Wiktionary: what does "meh" mean?
Wikipedia: why is "meh" even a word?
In this example, the concept *is* the word, with its cultural history,
associations etc.
Can you give an example of that in a traditional encyclopedia?
And if the concept is the word, shouldn't the title of the article be
[[the word "meh"]]?
